Re: Really Red Iranian Henna...and Henna in CrockPosted by Angel-2 on August 13, 2001 at 14:01:57: In reply to: Really Red Iranian Henna...and Henna in Crock posted by Maureen on August 11, 2001 at 20:25:21: : I have made contact with Dr. Atabaki in Iran to purchase some ofhis : henna. He sells in really large quantities. Way more than is needed : for personal use. If there is enough interest in this henna I will : order it and offer it for sell. Catherine has a pic of Iranian henna : on her site. I have tried to link it below. Hope it works. Please : let me know if you would have any interest in this product. There is : no sense in my ordering such quantity and having to will it to my : ancestors. Maybe this is how captalism begins. : : Also, does anyone know of a good or bad reason why henna powder : should not be preserved in a crock. I have some small and medium : sized glazed crocks and bottles made of terra cotta and clay and : wanted to put some of my henna powder in them. The powders always : seem to come in boxes and plastic wrap. I am sure that powders were : stored in something other than cardboard and plastic back in the : day. I imagine crocks were used to keep things fresh. But I don't : know if switching to the boxes and plastic is about convenience alone : or if the boxes and plastic actually will keep the henna powder : fresher longer. I remove my cooking flour, pan cake mix and corn : meal from the paper and cardboard boxes and bags and store them : almost forever in glazed ceramic or glass containers...but I don't : know if we are talking about the same thing with henna. I would : appreciate your thoughts on what you think would happen to henna over : time in such containers? Thanks. : : p.s. I got Catherine's book today and it is well worth getting. : Anyone getting the book probably has Catherine's drawing of "Reverend : Bunny"...this is the cutest, funniest and most honery bunny ever! : Go 'head Catherine! : : Maureen Please contact me at DC12red@hotmail.com to let me know about prices. I only use henna personally, but love to try new types of henna. ~Angel-2
